hahaha! Touche'! And so great that one can laugh at oneself and what others call us.
Your dedication to what you believe in is incredible.
Especially in the face of so much adversity.
:)
I'd rather be a gadfly than a blood sucking tick eating off the $$ that should go to kids!
Bless you for what you do!
What phrase... super
Hey Gadfly! I am going to give you some really good shit to land on! Ask the new superintendent why he is allowing the Bernalillo/City of Albuquerque cooperative of Community schools to "leverage" Title I funds for after school programs and services that should be funded by the county and the city. My dear, dear, irritating friend.... Title I funds are to be used mostly during the instructional day to provide literacy and math instructional/intervention support for the most at need STUDENTS, not for any after school programs that are supervised by undergraduates performing work study duties or for outside agencies, that should be funded by the likes of Catholic Charities or United
Way, to teach adult ESL/GED classes. This, my friend, is where you should land, not elsewhere.
...and sir, to that end of the information I gave you about the community schools initiative, I will give you more if you post that information.... I have much much more, because I am an inside gadfly... let's shake this up, shall we?
perhaps we can chat - over the phone maybe
